The Dan Poets, who’ve hosted weekly poetry readings at The Dan O’Connell Hotel on Saturday afternoons since the beginning of time (well 1992) have been hosting the hotly contested Dan Competition at the beginning of each month, awarding $100 for the best poet on the day voted by the audience. The winners of each month come together for December’s Dan Poetry Cup, competing for the silverware.
